Last living thing has been brought to its kneesAnd the multiverse worships the KingDimensional empire of smoldering worlds,Their ruler is standing alone

The earth is a tomb and the sky is its pallAnd the dust is the people that failedRegarding his realm in its thundering deathCalm at oblivion's door

To the victor go the empty and bitterAnd terrible spoils of warThere are no more worlds to conquerThere's no one left to fight

The fallout drifts in the wake of the strikeAnd the cloud overhead blankets allNuclear lightningstorm flashingA shadow is moving within

Something has formedSomething has spawnedFission, unlifeBorn of the atomBorn of the deadBorn... of the bomb

Rising up there amidst towers of smoke is aHydrogen-made skeletzarDoppelganger in all respects, body and mind,Powers mirroring those of the King

Hammered iron and bone and a chestplate ofSpiked armor all of it blackened by sootBillowing green from its empty skull socketsTendrils of sickening lightThe undead lord regards the usurperAnd the newcomer returns the glareAn accident of scienceA conjuration foul

The King begins to cackle and laughRealization sets in and the answer is clearHis one worthy opponentIn all of time, himself

And at long lastSomething as strongNo end to the coming fightNeverending battle has beenBorn... of the bomb

(Solo 1 - Jay Visser)(Solo 2 - Rob Pellegri)

Sword and axe are raisedAnd the two things are joined in combatSparks ignite from quickened strikesThe fireballs are as raindrops andThe thrumming lightning blastsCannot kill the sorcerersYet they carry on, his minionsCower horrified and horrible

CrashingStrikingThrustingSlashingHackingChantingCasting

Lashing out with all his mightAt the one made in his formLocked in blissful violenceA perpetual and total war

CrackingSmashingCuttingBlastingCrushingBashingGouging

Laughing long and loud the undead lordA blackened denouementAtop their world gone dead theMaelstrom continues on
